ICU Var 6 was used to track several things, see ICU Var 6 - AMA#Legacy Data.





  • AMA - patient discharged Against Medical Advice
    • used zz/home as discharged to and time reportedly left as discharge date/time
    • collected 2006 - pt dispo < 2016-07-01
    • we have changed from var6 AMA the dispo field from 2003 until the CFE time.
  • S - Study patient. Any patient enrolled in an ICU study. (tag started: July 1999)
    • Primary reason to use this tag was to ID those patients that had more than average blood test done during their ICU admission. A number of patients in clinical trials had agreed to additional lab tests for monitoring. This use to affect the average lab test stats, so we tagged them as "S" and had the option to exclude if study is reason to be an outlier.
      • "S" removed as option in CCMDB.accdb Ttenbergen 11:59, 2 November 2010 (CDT)
  • FT - Fast Track cardiac surgery patient @ STB. (Tag start date: Jan 26.07)
  • P - Pre-booked ICU bed. (tag start date: Mar 1/99 GRACE)
    • there are 274 "P" codes in Var 6 for ICU.
      • last one coded was 1 pt at Grace in Dec 2010.
        • 2 at STB in 2009
        • 2 at STB in 2008
        • 6 at Oaks in 2006
        • 19 at Oaks in 2005,
        • from 1999-2004 mostly Oaks and Grace and 4 VIC tagged during this period.
          • Remove from ICU Var 6 - P code. This is not being reported it. Is has been deactivated from CCMDB.accdb as of Feb 28.14 version that was rolled out.Trish Ostryzniuk 18:06, 2014 February 28 (CST)
  • H - Held bed : While patient admitted post procedure in an other ICU. (Tag started at the GRA in 2002. Tag not used much)
    • H - Hold the ICU bed without the body in it. Grace wanted to know how many ICU beds they were holding while patient went for procedures elsewhere.
      • there is a total of six "H" in var 6: 3 for Grace (2002 & 03), 1 for CON (2003), 1 for OAK (2007) and 1 for STB (2008).
